I'm so confused. I thought it wasn't a man or a woman. Liberals contradict themselves so much. Shouldn't they just remove the word "man" in their slogan?

Gillette really fuk'd up on this one. I wonder if the marketing team behind this gem will ever work again in advertising.

The posters here are melting over a shitty short film and don't see the irony in their sensitivity towards opposing views.


When the opposing view is "all individuals belonging to the group you arguably belong to are inherently evil and must be re-educated on how not to be evil" I would imagine those who arguably could be associated with that group (in this case, 49.99% of the world's population) to voice their disgust with such an opinion.

You seriously don’t think that’s a commercial?

Not how I saw it. I saw a shitty film with some of your points and some valid points on the other side. All around it didnt hit with me but I choose not to get bent out over trivial shite like this.

'Get Woke, Go Broke"

They have over priced blades and razors. To shite on the people who actually spend that cash on them???? Horrendous decision, this will bite them in the arse.

Other razor companies should jump on this and pounce.

Activision, Bethesda, and EA shite all over their customers, and finally the consumers told them 2 frick off, and both lost a shite ton of money to end '18.

It's 100% truth, when you get "Woke, you go Broke".

It is often said in the marketing world that 50 cents of every ad dollar is pure waste. Problem is figuring out which 50 cents.

For this ad, the whole dollar is wasted. Companies are committing suicide pandering to demographics, that don't buy their products anyway, for the sake of being PC.

I could name a bunch but you already know who they are. They won't be getting my money.

EA also f&%ked up some of their biggest properties over the previous few years like The Sims and NCAA Football. Then, doubled down with terrible customer service.
Inferior Product + High prices + terrible customer service + open disgust and contempt for the customer (wokeness) + viable competition = corporate failure.

People who don’t have toxic masculinity don’t need to shave

Yea, hopefully this trend dies soon.

Everyone wants to have a response like Nike did in the stock market, but they seem to be the exception, not the rule.

There's no such thing as toxic masculinity. This is something the left created to divide.

Judging by the youtube comments, this was poorly played by Gillette

Reading the comments gave me the first hope in a long time that we might not be done yet as a country.

Dollar shave club is in my future. Been meaning to give them a shot. No there's a good reason.

A lot of options for razors, and gillette have always been expensive compared to other razors. shite, you have to go get them from the damn Customer service dealio to even buy them.

People are tired of being labeled and shite on, by companies who need them, the consumers dont need gillette.

This is all perfectly innocent. People on this board have assured me that the company is in the business of appealing to as many people as possible, and wouldn't have an SJW message.

I love the black dudes being the beacons of restraint and impulse control

I don’t think they thought this ad through very well given their customer base.

Unless their goal was to sell less product. Then they’re geniuses.
